GM has had this for well over a decade. In my old Cobalt SS/TC, it meant you can keep your right foot buried; clutch in, shift, clutch out. You never go off-throttle. Worked flawlessly and made for some great sounds.
Sort of related. I’m a Product Manager in the automotive aftermarket; but for a very large Tier 1. Since March 2020, things have only gotten busier on my side whereas the OE side all but ground to a halt.

Honestly, the reason it scared me so much was because 140mph+ came so fast that I didn’t understand how. It didn’t make…

Jason, in your video you mentioned a fold-down front windshield, which really surprised me and I was wondering how I had missed any mention of it yesterday. Did you just get excited as you were explaining..? Or did Ford really manage to pull that off as well?
With just a hint of understeer... /s
Even ifthat includes trying to kill you
TIL The Si is a sub-2,900lbs car. And that makes me smile. I had no idea! Hell, my old FoST was at least 300lbs heavier.
Liberty Aviation Museum in NW Ohio has two of these now! I finally got to fly in one last summer and it was quite an experience.
